Have not been sucessful using lsi 9211-8i f/w.<br /><br />We purchased 3 of these cards and we would like to use them in JBOD mode with 15 or 16 drives !!!<br /><br />Thanks<br />AllanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752569483509797340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914305230753913661.post-54392872188860358112013-04-11T22:09:55.791-07:002013-04-11T22:09:55.791-07:00Thanks for the reply - I was (eventually) able to ...Thanks for the reply - I was (eventually) able to get an actual SAS controller card from Fujitsu, but good to know about flashing the other firmware.<br /><br />Also, it seems that they knew about this issue with systems having more than 8 HDDs, but this was the first time they had heard of it happening on a system with <= 8 HDDs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313282788613151554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914305230753913661.post-6915875712489367972013-04-11T11:10:30.104-07:002013-04-11T11:10:30.104-07:00Thanks for your comment and sorry for my late resp...Thanks for your comment and sorry for my late response. I borrowed a Fujitsu RX300 S7 with 16 HDDs using D2607 JBOD, and got the same issue as you mentioned.<br /><br />I did a further testing and found out that the Fujitsu firmware would cause the hang problem. When I flashed unsupported firmware, the system was able to boot without any issues. I was able to use all the 16 drives in ZFS as JBOD running Solaris 10 on this RX300 S7 with D2607.<br /><br />Fujitsu does not support JBOD in D2607. They recommended an LSI 9211 card for JBOD.
